Lunar Magick
by Gerina Dunwich

To most Wiccans and Neo-Pagans, the Moon is more than just a crater-covered 
natural satellite that revolves around the Earth and lights up the night sky.

The Moon is a bearer of omens, and a sacred symbol of Nature's cycle of life 
to death to rebirth. It represents the feminine principle, personified by the 
Triple Goddess (Maiden, Mother, and Crone of wisdom).

The connection between the mystical energy of the Moon and the Craft of the 
Wise dates back to early times when Witches were believed by many to possess 
a supernatural ability to literally "draw down the Moon" from the heavens and 
use it as the source of their magickal power.

The Moon and each of its phases are the most essential parts of modern Wiccan 
magick, so it is extremely important that all of your spells and rituals are 
performed during the proper lunar phase. (Performing a magickal spell during 
the wrong lunar phase could give you the opposite result or no result at all. 
Therefore, it only makes sense to check with an up-to-date astrological or 
lunar calendar before casting a spell of any kind.)

All spells and rituals that attract should be performed when the Moon is on 
the increase. All spells and rituals that banish should be performed when the 
Moon is on the decrease.

All spells and rituals that involve the element of fire should be performed 
when the Moon is positioned in one of the three astrological fire signs: 
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

All spells and rituals that involve the element of earth (such as 
Gaia-healing) should be performed when the Moon is positioned in one of the 
three astrological earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

All spells and rituals that involve the element of air should be performed 
when the Moon is positioned in one of the three astrological air signs: 
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

All spells and rituals that involve the element of water should be performed 
when the Moon is positioned in one of the three astrological water signs: 
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.
